After some tweaking in PECPrep, this is looking very promising. Can't wait to get out and load this up into EQMOD. I wonder how EQMOD knows the worm cycle so that the corrections are in sync though... guess I'll find out soon enough.

I culled out the first and last cycles because they were clearly not aligned with the rest; not sure what happened there. If I keep them in, the residual RMS is still only 0.34". Note that the recorded peaks seem to be unchanged regardless of which cycles I include.

Anyway, if I can keep it at that (<0.34"), and get my alignment nailed then I should be able to do unguided even at 1.8m. Broadband with my skies and equipment only needs 220s exposures, so this may well be doable.
